This game features two Sun Belt teams looking for their first in conference victory. The Owls bring in a 1-3 record while the Warhawks bring in a 1-3 record as well. Both teams are 0-1 in conference so far. The Owls bring in a 3 game losing streak. They are also 1-1 on the road. The Warhawks are coming off a blowout loss to the Auburn Tigers 52-3. The Warhawks are 1-1 at home and look to bounce back after a horrible week last week.

The Owls have not been pretty this year. Their defense ranks at 86th overall allowing 28.3 points a game. Their offense has been even worse. Their offense is averaging only 17.3 points a game which is 111th worst in the nation. The one bright spot on the offensive side of the ball has been the passing game. The Owl passing game is ranked 49th in the nation with 230.5 points a game. They are lead by Junior QB Jeff Van Camp who has 881 yards with 5 TDs and 3 Ints. If the Owls want to win they will need their rushing attack to step up. Right now the Owls are averaging 72.8 yards a game, 116th overall.

The Warhawks have not looked good on either side of the football. Their defense is 106th in the nation allowing 34.3 points per game. Their offense has looked terrible only averaging 12.8 points a game. The only way the ‘hawks have been able to score points has been their passing game. Their passing game comes in at 73rd overall with 205 yards a game. Freshman QB Kolton Browning has thrown for 793 yards with 4 TDs and 4 Ints. He also leads the ‘hawks rushing game with 170 yards and another TD.

This game features two not very good teams. Both teams are coming off road loses where they only put up 3 points each. This game should be avoided at all costs. It will be boring and this makes it one of the tougher football picks. It could go either way and the spread isn’t huge so I will go with the Warhawks.
